Fresh from their latest victory in Europe, Manchester United will turn their attention back to the Premier League when they welcome West Ham to Old Trafford on Sunday.
Ruben Amorim’s team will be looking to replicate their European form in the league when they host a struggling West Ham side without a win since February.

Manchester United vs West Ham United predictions
Manchester United head into Sunday’s game against West Ham in shaky league form.
The Red Devils have gone six Premier League games without a win, picking up just two points and conceding heavily against Newcastle and Brentford along the way.
Defensively, they’ve looked vulnerable and confidence throughout the team is low.
On the flip side, Ruben Amorim’s team have been flying in Europe. They smashed Athletic Club 7-1 on aggregate in the Europa League semi-finals, with Mason Mount putting in a standout performance in the second leg on Thursday.
United will need to find a way to carry that European momentum into the league. But, so far this season, they simply haven’t been able to do this.
Finishing fourth from bottom is a real possibility. United are currently 15th on 39 points. A defeat to West Ham would see the Hammers move above the Red Devils.
A Europa League Cup win would paper over that for now, but such a poor league finish is likely to damage Ruben Amorim’s long term prospects at the club.
West Ham come into Sunday’s game against Manchester United without a win in their last eight Premier League matches.
They’ve picked up a few draws, including a 1-1 against Spurs, but also suffered defeats to Brighton, Liverpool, Wolves and Newcastle.
Scoring hasn’t been the issue, the Hammers have found the net in their last five games. Keeping goals out has been the problem. Graham Potter’s team haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last eight.
Jarrod Bowen remains a key threat going forward, he has scored in three of West Ham’s last five. The Hammers are likely to need another big performance from the England striker if they’re going to snap their winless streak at Old Trafford.
Graham Potter’s team sit 17th in the table with 37 points from 35 matches. A defeat would make it very difficult to catch the Red Devils, making a fourth from bottom finish look all the more likely.

Included in the Hammers’ eight-match winless streak is a 1-1 draw at home to Southampton. Even the Red Devils have done the double over the Saints this season.
Back Manchester United to win at 19/20 with Midnite
Over 2.5 goals and BTTS
There is every possibility that Manchester United might blow this. It wouldn’t be the largest shock after the season they’ve had.
Assuming they do, we think it will probably be a loss with goals at both ends. So to cover a 2-1 win to either team, a bet on over 2.5 goals with both teams scoring looks worth investing in.
Both teams have scored in West Ham’s previous five and over 2.5 goals have been covered in three of those matches.
Both teams scored in Man Utd’s last two matches in all competitions, along with a combination of 12 goals.
Back over 2.5 goals and yes in both teams to score at 11/10 with SBK
Rasmus Højlund to score anytime
A bit like Manchester United’s form, we’ve been here a few times already with Rasmus Højlund.
Just when it looks like the Danish striker has finally turned the corner, he goes on a seemingly endless run of matches without a goal.
We’re cutting him some slack. As it was pointed out on the TV commentary against Athletic, he doesn’t get the service.
The former Atalanta striker scored in United’s 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. He again found the net against Athletic in the second leg on Thursday.
He was on the bench against Brentford last Sunday, but that was surely to save him for the Europa League.
This is a must win game for Manchester United. So we expect Højlund to start. If he does he is worth backing to continue his good recent goalscoring form.
